A while later after they spoke for a little bit more with George Bruce took Alex, under much protest and bargaining, back to wayne manor leaving Dick with George. George was once again on the hospital bed and Dick was residing in a recliner.

the silence was a little awkward so Dick took initiative and started saying "um question." he also raised his hand like he was in class.

George smirked at how dorky he looked and calmly answered "shoot".

"what was the circus like when you were there? was it still as awe inspiring as I remember it?" Dick asked hid eyes widening a bit in anticipation his eyebrows coming together a little bit also, he kinda looked like a puppy.

George now chuckled at his expression " yeah it was" here George paused her face taking on a softer edge as she continued "..I mean I was part of the show but I never got tired of just watching all of the performers..perform..it never got old. even after all those years that I was there........the anticipation, the thrill, it never faded" by now Georges face was alight with a smile.

dick smiled along with her and in a soft voice said "yeah I get that part. that was always how I felt too. Haley's circus just does that to you I guess."

George just nodded staring with the same smile on her face at the pattern on her hospital gown. "Dick?" George quietly questioned.

"yeah" Dick replied looking back up at her.

" what was it like for you at the circus?" George asked her expression quizzical.

Dick sighed a little and leaned back in his chair running a hand through his long raven hair. "it was probably one of the most amazing times of my life. I had Tati and Mami and I had a elephant for my best friend and lots of willing teachers ready to tell me how to do some amazing things. I was able to watch the show from backstage and listen to the jokes and the laughter before it all started. and I helped pop haley get props and i gave everyone wishes of good luck. and i remember being in the trailer with my parents and it being crowded and small and we were needing for space. but that made it almost more fun. it was like we were on a camping trip all year round. i got to see cultures and cities of some of the most famous countries. i learned languages, which i wasn't to thrilled about at the start, and i was homeschooled by my mom. but probably the best thing was being on the trapeze with my parents. that was when we were closest. that's when all age differences and levels of talent were rendered obsolete, we were just simply flying. it was fear inducing breath taking and exhilarating all at the same time. nothing else has ever given me that thrill. and i don't think anything will even come close. its unexplainable, yet it seems so simple to me." Dick said finished explaining.

George was looking at him with fascination and she was almost glowing with the amazement she was feeling. just how he put it was amazing. "thanks Dick. for telling me." George said.

dick grinned at her "no problem sis. anything you wanna know just ask."

George nodded and said "yeah i might take you up on that offer later Dickie. right now i might head back to the land of the dead to grab some shuteye." George said a smile playing on her lips as she closed her eyes. Dick just nodded, obviously she didn't see it, and once again laid back in the recliner and just stared at the ceiling. he noticed all of the little cracks and blemishes and counted how many he could make out. he then moved on to rest of the room evaluating everything. this was something he liked to do when in times of boredom. but this time it lolled him to sleep and his eyes drooped and he gave in to the blissfull land of dreams.
